What are the best settings for the front & rear struts? I know I seen this on here before, but I can't find it now. Thanks.

i believe i have it on the 3 which is soft i think, thats the most comfortable and sporty at the same time

I have mine set to 2 front 2 rear. It is very comfortable and I still have the handling that I want. The popular setting is 3 front 2 rear but you should try it out with all settings and pick what you like. Have fun.

I have 2 front, 3 rear for slight understeer and still a nice ride. I want it a bit firmer though and I'll probably try 3 front, 4 rear soon.

Thanks for the replies.I tried 3 on front & back. The ride is great! At least on smooth road under 30 it is. I didn't drive it any faster because my insurance isn't activated yet (been stored for winter). I have a body kit, low pros, and low clearence. I don't want to scrape the pavement! Would the 5 & 4 setting be best for eliminating bounce over bumps at higher speeds?

do it and you'll be shaking like jello over bumps.
i live by the train tracks and on 5/4 it is so stiff on them tracks that i gotta downshift into first or second and slowly roll over them.

3f 4r best for me

I usually run 3f 4r. Higher in the rear means less understeer and more nuetral handling. I'm not sure why anyone would intentionally run a higher setting in the front. Our cars understeer enough already!!!
Currently I'm running 2f 3r for a slightly cushier ride. It's very comfortable and still handles well. My pregnant wife and my son seem to prefer 2/3.

What would be the best setting for NYC streets.... or to make it easier on you guys, going over those tracks for blocks and blocks at a time

i would say 3 - 3, that should be good

well...I live around NYC and spend my weekends going back and forth between jersey and manhattan through brooklyn.

I started out on 2f/3r and it rode great even on my 18s, but after I got used to it I wanted a tad bit more body control for turns. bumped it up to 3f/3r and it got a little too stiff for some of the bumpier roads around here. now I have it on 2.5f/3r and it seems to be a good compromise.

you might be able to get away with higher settings, like a 3f/4r if you're on sawblades. good luck.

I have it set at 3 in the front and 5 in the rear. Will probably change it soon because it is a little stiff through dips, but nothing unbearable.

I could probably ride around here with 5/5. I did it when I first had them on, and the ride isn't bad at all. I started it at 1/1 then went to 5/5 and I didn't even notice a difference. But that has a lot to do with the roads around here. TN is #1 in roads, so every road that has a single crack in it gets repaved

I believe it says in the owners manual to be sure to have it on the number, and not inbetween. I think that may mess up the valving. I'm not sure how it works, exactly, but I don't think it's completely progressive. So I don't think 2.5 is really a valid setting. I'm not being mean, I think I'd just play it safe and stick with the even numbers.

Larry H

thanks for the heads up. in that case, I'll put them on 2 rather than 3.

guess I'm showing my age.
